Trump says that vandalism against Musk’s Tesla is “domestic terrorism”

Donald Trump and his Attorney General, Pam Bondi, have defended Tuesday that the episodes of vandalism and violence against Tesla, the giant of electric cars led by Elon Musk, is “domestic terrorism.”

Musk, Trump’s right hand at the beginning of his second … Mandate, has become the ‘number one enemy’ for many in the opposition to ‘Trumpism’. In addition to being the main financier of the electoral campaign of the now president and the main agitator of his policies in public opinion with the power of X, the social network of his property, Musk is having a decisive impact on the radical transformation of the US, which Trump seeks in his first weeks in the White House. He is in charge of reducing the public sector, making agencies disappear, cutting the body of officials and eliminating budget items. Musk is the main Adalid of the ‘techno-oligarchy’ that some in the US wanting to keep the country.

And nothing is more linked to Musk than the Tesla, their high -end electric vehicles. In their day, they were worshiped by the American progressive elite concerned with climate change. Now they are, for many contrary to Musk and Trump, a symbol of the enemy. With that cultivation broth, vandalism cases against the Tesla have multiplied.

The accusations of “domestic terrorism” by Trump and Bondi occurred the same day in which Five Tesla were attacked in a company concessionaire in Las Vegas (Snowfall). A man set them on fire and shot them with a gun. On the eve, in Kansas City (Misuri), two cybertrucks burned, Tesla’s futuristic truck, which has become a sign of adhesion to ‘Trumpism’. Last Friday, a woman was arrested in Buffalo Grove (Illinois) for painting anti-Musk messages with spray in several vehicles. That same day, several vandals destroyed the windows of a San Diego dealer (California) and painted swastika and messages against the multimillionaire of South African origin. On the eve, several Tesla were shot in Tigard (Oregon).

These are just some examples of vandalism, which Bondi described as a “plague of violent attacks against Tesla properties that is nothing less than domestic terrorism,” and warned that their authors will be persecuted and will face “severe consequences”, with penalties that can reach five years in prison.

Trump adhered to that position in an interview in Fox News. After calling Musk “patriot”, He assured that vandalism is being financed by “very politically involved people on the left,” without giving evidence of their statement.

The accusations of “domestic terrorism” arrive almost two months after Trump granted his presidential forgiveness to all investigated and convicted of the assault on the Capitol of January 6, 2021. Among them, to whom they vandalized the headquarters of popular sovereignty, to whom you hit the police and the members of violent organizations of the extreme right who planned the violent day in which the assailants tried to avoid the certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential elections. The FBI described those involved as “violent domestic extremists.” During the last campaign, Trump described them all as “heroes,” promised his forgiveness and fulfilled it. Bondi then defended the presidential forgives.
